I believe is one of the biggest regular season games that Mike Tomlin has coached here in a very long time. We are going to find out a lot about the Steelers on Sunday and what this team is truly made of. I cant see anyway possible that the Steelers will not be up for this game and not come out desperate and with a purpose which is exactly what they didnt do the last home game against the Chargers last week. The bottom line is Mike Tomlin had better have this team ready to play this Sunday with all that is on the line. The Bengals are a pretty good team no doubt but if the Steelers show up and play like they are capable of in this game there is no reason in the world that they shouldnt beat the Bengals. I think the only way the Steelers lose this game is once again going to be the reason they have been losing games all season they will make mistakes,turn the ball over, not take advantage of opportunities and simply beat themselves. But make no mistake about it this I believe is a huge huge game for Mike Tomlin and he had better find a way to win this game against the Bengals and also the game the following week against the Browns or he is going to be facing the kind of heat and pressure that he has yet to see in this town...

This team hasn't been ready to play all season. I don't expect much from them for this game either. Maybe they get a lucky bounce to eek out a win. I doubt it though and they remind me of the current Lakers team. Talented with no heart.

I will be hoping for a Pittsburgh win but... I see the Bengals winning this game straight up without the points. It is one of those 'every dog has his day' contests wherein Cincy will draw upon determination and adversity from the dark days of their past futile attempts to win in Pittsburgh. It will be a hard fought game but the Steelers don't have the 'right stuff' (not sure what to call it) this season.
